Just gos to show you how much force is exerted on the hilt when dueling, and how imporant it is to secure everything in and on your saber.
One thing I wonder; however, is wether or not you guys had these parts tight enough. A loose bolt can be sheered of easier than a tight one, so maybe that's the problem. Any wiggle room will cause unwanted stress on the connector resulting in failure.
Just a thought.
